    Honestly i didn’t like much of it. No privacy curtains, drains clogged all the time, very dirty bathroom. Doors sound super loud that when someone goes out it wakes up everyone.. i can’t really recommend this hostel.

    I liked the location and they provide towels.. that’s great. Nice staff.

    Quite expensive for a sharing room, but it was the only option close to the airport in the last minute. The sink and the shower were clogged. Room full of mosquitoes.

    They provided free towel.

    It is on a busy main road, but walking distance to eateries, beach, nightlife. Chill area is next to main road (although there may be another one I didn't see...?)

    Comfy beds, big, clean rooms and bathroom, good AC. I was only there en route to Samui International so didn't spend much time at hostel. Close to airport.

    The only thing was the roosters somehow hanging out right next to the hostel and making noise in the night. So if you're a sensitive sleeper like me, could mess up with your sleep. Otherwise all good.

    The hostel was kinda new and clean. Beds were comfortable, showers are decent, every bed has its own big locker and the location was good. Staff was wonderful and friendly, especially Non, always ready to help and answer every question😊

    Staff: they weren't there that often and the English of the guy there was limited Bathroom: it has never been cleaned in the 4 days I have been there. Moreover there was a problem with the sewerage in the evening and there was a horrible smell everywhere. We had nobody to call and nobody was at the reception. Dorm: never cleaned in 4 days. Every morning we woke up at 5am due to a rooster right outside our window. No curtains on the bed nor a light. Location: it's 25ish min walking from the bars/markets area which isn't too bad but if you wanna take a taxi (especially late at night) it will cost you 100/200 thb

    The mattress was comfy Rental scooter right next to the hostel

    The bathroom was very dirty, sink was completely clogged and I had to wash my hands in the shower. No privacy curtains on the beds but luckily I was alone in the room. The location is a bit remote, it is literally on the highway and to go anywhere you have to walk on the big road

    The staff was nice, they spoke English and helped me to check in, There was a 7-11 5mins away and the room had a balcony, a/c and lockers

    The ac is placed so a few of the beds end up beeing super cold to be able to cool down the rest of the room. No night light, no shelfs, no hooks, don't really care about curtains but it would be nice. Location is a bit off as well. They can't even be bothered to update the wifi password signs. Can't really recommend this place.

    The place isn’t incredibly social but it’s brilliant if you just need an affordable place to stay while you’re in Koh samui. There is a cockerel next door that likes to wake you up, but it’s out of the hostels control so just bring some ear plugs and you’ll be okay.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfy. The place was cleaned everyday and it was close enough to walk to the beach and local restaurants.

    The door to the bathroom doesn’t even close properly so in a room of 8 people, all night there is in and out. It doesn’t feel like the hostel is cared for as minor comfort could be upgraded such as curtains on the beds or simply adding small details.

    Plugs didn't work and no shelf to put your phone if you're on top bunk. Couldn't charge my phone and have it near me at night. Shower didn't work, was stuck on maximum cold. Sink leaked very badly as well, even after a plumber came. No curtains at all, least private hostel I've stayed at - Felt like an army barracks. Slept on the top bunk and was basically staring at the people next to me as i slept. Stairs were very steep and very small, also at a downward incline. Ceiling leaked and clothes got wet. Worst of all, in the mornings the cleaners would open the door, turn the lights on in the rooms, and speak very loudly through the echoey halls. Everyone in the dorm was visibly annoyed at this but they didn't seem to notice. If there was at least curtains on the beds the lights wouldn't have been as bad, but they were also practically shouting at each other which was the more annoying of the two. I understand they have a job to do, but going forward please be considerate that if you see a dorm full of people sleeping at 10am in the morning, it might be polite to keep the door shut if you don't intend to enter, and speak at a lower volume rather than trying to let the whole hostel hear your conversation.

    Mattresses comfortable. Everyone at reception was very kind, as was the man.

    My stay at Chill Inn Chaweng Beach was fantastic! The accommodation was top-notch with incredibly comfortable beds and pillows. The staff were polite and accommodating, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. Additionally, its convenient location near the center of Chaweng Beach made it easy to explore the area. I highly recommend Chill Inn for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
